Unexpected

Chapter 8 - Jason's POV

A month later

(Willow outfit pictured)

I'm waiting on the couch for Willow to finish getting dressed while checking my text, letting the gang know not to bother me since I was with Willow. They all knew if I was bothered while with her, hell would be paid after Ryan accidentally called me to tell me someone was trying to bomb us.. let's just say he had to wear sunglasses for almost a month.
   I hear giggling and whispers from her room, smiling when I hear Willow voice, sounding nervous as she says, "I don't know girls. Do you all really think Jason will stay after the baby is born? What if he decides to leave when things get hard? I really really like him and am excited about the baby.. what if he ends up leaving me with our baby on my own?" I feel my heart break, and my breath caught in my throat when she says that. The girls try arguing with her and assuring I'd never leave, reminding her how she tried to push me away before and I still stayed. Next thing I know, I'm in her room, hugging her softly and kissing her lips, onr hand on her hip, the other softly rubbing her jaw.
    I hear the girls leave, giving us some privacy, and Ari winks at me when I pull back from Willow, closing the door. Willow looks at me, blushing, "You heard what I said.. didn't you?" I nod, looking at her eyes, "I did and figured it'd be better hearing from me. I'm all in Willow. No matter what happens, ok? I want you and whatever that comes with. I don't care about our pasts and what happened back then. I'm focused on now and our baby." I softly rub her belly, smiling as she looks at me, tears in her eyes before she kisses me like her life depends on it. "I'm so sorry I'd doubt you, Jay. Come on. Let's get going." She quickly puts her hair up before getting her bag, grabbing a bottle of water, taking a prenatal vitamin,
and we walk outside, saying bye to the girls quickly and head to the OBGYN
    When we get there, the checks in at the front, getting paperwork before pulling me to sit beside her, focusing on the paperwork while I look at what it says while rubbing her thigh softly. "What's all that for, babygirl?" Willow sighs, focused on what she's doing, "I have to fill out this paperwork so they have my insurance info and family history. I hate it cause I don't know much about my family besides some heart and addiction problems..." she bites her bottom lip nervously, looking away from me and fills it out until she's done. I take it from her, go give it to the lady up front and head back to Willow as her name is called by a nurse.
    I take her hand and we go in the back, where they take her blood pressure, weight and ask her some questions about how she's feeling before putting us in a room where there's a pull out bed (don't remember what it's called), different kinds of posters about women's bodies and pregnancy, a gown, some hand sanitizer and different kinds of equipment. The nurse tells Willow to change into a gown and then quickly shuts the door. Willow suddenly acts shy as she quickly changes while I can't help admire her curves on her body and her boobs, which look full and perky.
   Willow looks at me and says, teasing, "You got some drool on your chin, babe. Might wanna clean up a bit." I blink, running my hands on my chin, not seeing anything and smile, "hahaha. Your hilarious princess. Come here." I stand to her and give her a quick kiss, putting my forehead on hers while looking in her eyes, "How you feeling, baby? Nervous? Excited?" Willow nods, "All the above. More anxious to see the baby. How about you?" I nod, "I'm excited too. I can't wait until we find out the gender. Ooh should we have a gender reveal? That'd be fun." Willow nods, her face lighting up and giggling."I love how excited you get talking about the baby. I was really worried you would leave like most guys."
   I go to say something, but a knock on the door prevents me, so I say, "Come in," while standing beside Willow as the doctor, a young looking woman, walks in, smiling at us, holding her hand out to us both and introduces herself, "Hello you two. I'm Dr. Jones. You must be Willow and Jason. It's nice to meet you both." We both shake her hand and say, "Nice to meet you too," as she sits down, getting some equipment ready.
    Willow looks nervous, which Dr. Jones notices and says, "These is the ultrasound wand which helps me see the baby. It goes inside you until about 4 months, then I'll use your belly to check the baby. Are you ready?" Willow nods, holding my hand as she leans back, getting comfortable and opens her legs. I fight the urge to look while looking at Willow wince as Dr. Jones tells her to relax before we see something on the screen. Willow looks and gasps, "Is that the baby?" Dr. Jones nods, "That's your baby. You're about 2 months along. Congratulations. The baby looks good and healthy for how far along you are. Let's see if we can hear a heartbeat. It might be too soon, so don't be upset if you can't hear it." She turns a nob and we hear a loud, strong heartbeat, making Willow immediately cry and look at me while I softly cry as well. "That's our baby, Jay. Can you believe it?" I nod, focused on the baby. "Can we have the pictures, please?"
Dr. Jones nods and slowly pulls the wand from Willow, cleaning it off before pulling something from the machine and hands it to me, "Congratulations again. You're going to be on a diet to keep the baby safe and try to avoid stress. Whatever you feel, so does your baby." She gave us a long list of foods and drinks to avoid, some obvious and some surprising. I had asked if she'd make a list since we're both forgetful. Dr. Jones nods, laughing and grabs what looks like 2 different pieces of paper, handing it to me before telling us to make another appointment and leaves so Willow gets changed while I hold the pictures, completely surprised there's a baby growing in Willow.. part of me and her. We made a baby. Holy fuck. I'm gonna be a dad and can't wait. Once she's dressed, we grab everything and head out to the front, Willow sets up another appointment for next month and has to get some blood work done which she does here quickly.
   Once we get in my car, with me helping her, I ask what she wants to do, which she says, "Can we look at baby stuff? I know its early but we can get gender neutral stuff and so we have an idea on what things cost." I nod and say, driving to Target, "Princess, I've told you to not worry about money with me. I've got more than enough for us and the baby. I got you." I kiss her hand and focus on the road, smiling as she texts the girls to tell them about the ultrasound and send pictures before putting her phone down as I pull into Target, her favorite. She squeals excitedly as I pull into a spot and help her out then grab a cart, walking in, her hand covering mine on the cart.
    She starts grabbing random food, saying, "it's a craving," which I jokingly roll my eyes and just nod, as we make it to the baby section which is huge. Willow looks around, eyes widening, looking around and jaw dropped, same reaction as mine. She goes to the clothes and starts looking at them, squealing at the clothes she finds, mostly girl clothes. We haven't discussed names or what we'd prefer but honestly as long as the baby is healthy and born on time, that's what matters. I know Willow is beyond excited and wants to give the baby a life neither of us had. She grabs a bunch of brown, grey and yellow clothes, showing me before throwing them all in the cart, still looking around.
     I just watch her get more excited about the more things she finds and love how her eyes light up with everything she finds and smile as she laughs and goes all over the place, grabbing things I'm sure she doesn't know the point of. Once she's done, I look at her and ask, "You done now?" Willow nods, biting her lip, "I think so.. is it too much? It definitely is. Oh gosh. I need to put some back." I grab her hand, "It's ok babygirl. If we don't need it, we can always bring it back alright? Come on. You look tired. Let's go home." I didn't wanna leave but I had things to do with the boys who kept texting me so I knew it had to be a big deal for them to bother me after warning them not to. We quickly check out and I put the bags away while Willow sits in the car, I told her to but she didn't wanna listen so i had to tell her I wouldn't cuddle her if she didn't get in. She finally agreed and got in, pouting and arms crossed.
   Once I was done and put the cart back, I got in, started the car and drove back to her place, the girls helping me bring stuff in. Willow was sitting on the couch, still pouting until I brought her ice cream which was chocolate with brownie pieces and chocolate syrup and she instantly smiled and gave me a kiss before eating it. After we put everything away, I told Willow I had to go really quick but would be back tonight so she nodded, giving me a long drawn out kiss before telling me to hurry back since the baby already misses him. I smile, lean to her belly and whisper, "Hey baby. It's Daddy. I gotta go do some things but make sure mom's not bored, alright? Daddy loves you," then kiss her belly a few times, making her giggle before giving her one last kiss before I leave, calling Ryan, who said they found the guy who tried to assault Willow... Cayden brother, Caleb. Little di we know he had a brother. I don't think even Willow knew otherwise she'd have told me. Ryan says they're at the main headquarters so I drive there quickly, getting there within 5 minutes. Once I arrive, I get out, slam my door, fuming and walk in, scaring the guys who were sitting around, talking and playing music and notice Ryan is missing. Alfredo and Tyga lead me to where Ryan is, punching Caleb, who already looks bloody and bruised.

2 hours later, I'm back at my place in the shower, cleaning off Caleb's blood, thinking of Willow who Caleb tried to threatening but between me and Ryan, he died pretty quick. I hear my phone ring so  I quickly wash the blood off me, turn the water off, wrap a towel around my waist and answer, not paying attention to the caller, "Hello?" A unknown man's voice comes through, "Hello Jason McCann. I have someone important to you." I tense and hear Willow screaming in the background, "Jason! Help!" I yell, "Let her go! She's pregnant and can't have any stress! Who is this?!"
    The man laughs and says, "Guess Willow hasn't told you about her past.. have she? Hmm.. bummer. Oh well. I guess I gotta have my way with her like last time. Your more than welcome to listen. I'll be back." I hear Willow yelling and screaming and I'm already in the car, Ryan beside me, tracking the phone. He gives me a location within seconds and my eyes widen, knowing who it is. He's one of our rivals. I speed there, barely having time to park into his yard, grab my gun and put my keys in my pocket with Ryan behind me, still hearing Willow screaming and yelling, my heart breaking the more I hear her beg and yelling stop. I kick the door down, seeing Willow tied up with Dylan beside her, holding her hair, screaming. Willow cries once she sees me and kicks Dylan in his junk, making him fall. Willow runs into my arm, that's not holding a gun.
     She looks away, holding her belly. Ryan ask if she's ok, which she nods and ask if she can go to the hospital to check on the baby. I nod and tell Ryan to put her in the car, which he does. Once Willow is outside, I turn to Dylan whose now standing, still holding his junk, wincing and gives me a death look. "She was mine before you and Ryan took her. She had no clue about any of the gang stuff but with you... she has no choice now. She's mine and I'll do anything to get her back.. even kill you and that demon child yall made... I'll just get her pregnant again so it doesn't matter-" I shot him without hesitating and shrug, bored now. My anger went away once I shot him.
   I go outside, putting my gun away and whisper to Ryan, "Clean that up please. Call the guys. I'll take Willow home." Ryan nods, looking at Willow, who's shaking so I get in, not saying anything as I take her to the hospital, calling the girls. Once we get there, Willow tells me she wants to check her unborn baby cause she was almost attacked by a random guy but I saved her so the nurses and doctors take her away while I sit down, running my hands through my hair, sighing. I gotta get out.. that's the problem though. If you try to leave.. you end up 6 feet under. Luckily it's my own gang but it still will be difficult. It's worth it to keep Willow and our baby safe. I hear yelling and screaming so I look up, seeing Ari and Kay who notices me. They talk over to me and I explain what happens. A doctor walks over to me, smiling, telling us that Willow and the baby are ok and she's resting now. We all nod and breathe a sigh of relief before going to her room, where she's asleep in a bed, hooked on wires.
   My heart breaks and drops seeing her but relieved she and our baby's ok and alive. That's what matters the most is them both alive. I sit beside her, grabbing her hand softly, kissing it with tears running down my face. Kay says, "the doctor is keeping her overnight to make sure she and baby will be ok but can come home tomorrow. I'll have Angel get some clothes and food for you both. I know she keeps some of your clothes in her room." I nod, keeping my eyes focused on Willow whose breathing softly and sigh, stressing out, worried about everything even more about Willow. I climb into the bed, pulling her close to me as I can without setting any wires off and manage to fall asleep.
